The Union is jubilant over the triumph of the Democracy of Pennsylvania over disaffeo- tion, as evinced in the sitting State Convention at Harrisburg The Union controverts with force the various Positions assumed by Mr. Seward in his speech on Wednesday last, and in conclusion says: “ We are perfectly honest in declaring that, as 8 work of inberent mischief, filled in its every line with t tal elements of sedition and con- racy, bis bh on Wednesday last exceeds others which blind partizansbip and political malice bate yet presented to the American The Intelirgencer has no editorial to-day. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Mr. Hoarn’s Resotvtioy, which oecupied the House during the major part of the day be- fore yesterday, provides for the appointment of a committee to investigate charges contained in ah irresponsible newspaper paragraph, to the effect that the President bad used the execu- tive patronage to influence the vo'e of a mem- beron the Kansas bill. The paragraph cited charges that Mr. Burns, of the Ohio delega- tion, was avowedly opposed to the Lecompton Constitution, and having suddenly changed his opinion, was interrogated as to his alleged vas- sillation, when he replied he was to become the recipient of certain executive favors in con- sequence thereof. It goes on to state that these favors consist in the retention of Mr. B.'s son- in-law as Postmaster at Keokuk, Iowa, and his own appointment, on the expiration of his Congressional term, as United States Marshal for the northern district of Ohio. Tn the preamble to his resolution Mr. Hoard Teiterates this charge. and, by his modification introduced on the day before yesterday. de- elares that “common fame"’ accuses the Presi- dent, not only now, but in years past, of thus wrongfully using the patronage attaching to that position. It is because of these allega- tions by an unknown newspaper writer and generalized rumors by “common fame’’—lying opposition slanders, well known to be such by Mr. Hoard, if he is endowed with brains suffi- sient to scratch himself when he itches—that the resolution was introduced; and even in his speech before the House, Mr H. did not dare to make a definite assertion that any cor- ruption had occurred or was about to occur. On the contrary, he advocated his resolution solely on the ground of the above-mentioned weports and rumors. We have set this matter forth thus perspicu- ously, to illustrate on what shallow pretexts auch grave charges are uttered against the chief effeer of the nation. All the allegations are erude and unshapen, no specific charges what- ever being embodied in them They consist in mere vague reports and idle rumors. On the day before yesterday, when the mover of the resolution was on the floor, he gave the sources whence his information was derived ; and one of the gentlemen alluded to as being among his informants explained that he had only related to Mr. H. what was told him by another mem- ber. Now, we ask, does it not convey a reproach on the character and intelligence of the Ameri- can people, that gentlemen who have sufficient inftence in their districts to become members of Congress will so far lose their sense of self- Fespect as to cast the most offensive and injuri- us imputations on the characters of fellow- members, on such unsubstantial and trivial g7ounds as those pointed out above? We are av are that the virulence of political dissersions will sometimes lead even gentlemen to disre- gard the courtesies of life in order to gain van- tage over an opponent ; but this, we believe, is the first instance within our knowledge where Members of one party have allowed their an- tagonism towards an opposing party to impel them to seek the destruction of both the public ‘and private reputation of a fellow-member, without, apparently, even the shadow of a foundation on which to lay their charge. When it is remembered too, that the charac- ter of the chief officer of the nation is sought to be involved serious extent in this affair, the unprincipled wantonness of the attempt becomes more palpable. Can it be that this utter indifference about the feelings of others— this total abuegation of respect towards those who differ in opinion with the prosecutors of this charge—is the result of party animosity alone’ Is it not, rather, more plausible to suppose that the affair grows out of a desire on the part of some friend of the Republican mem- bers who were last year adjudged guilty of cor- ruption and bribery, to revenge the effect of that action of Congress towards them on the party to which they belonged, by endeavoring to heap equal obloquy and disgrace on the head of some member of the Democracy of the Howse’? This seems so to us; and if it is the case, the effort is more than ever worthy of de- punciation, and must react with retributive foree on the heads of those seeking to perpe- trate the wrong. ‘ Mr. Barns, on the day before yesterday, as will be seen, desired that the investigation should be instituted, and introduced other rea- olutions with that view, which Mr. Hoard ac- cepted in lieu of his own. The House, how- ever, very wisely considered the charges too vague apd indefinite to be worthy of notice, and hence laid the whole subject on the table. ‘We are more than half inclined to believe that ‘Wir. Hoard has acted in this matter the part of an instrument in the hands of other parties be- hind the curtain.

Robinson, district of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va.—reappointed. Ksocxrne tae Rioat axp Levt.—The Con- necticut agent for sending news by telegraph to “the Associated Press,”’ true to his anti- Democratic party instincts, a day or two ago misrepresented the position of the Hon. Mr. Pratt, the Demoeratic nominee for Governor, on the Lecompton Constitution question— intimating, in perhaps a hundred newspa- pers—to be copied into a thousand more— that his head is sore—that he is an absquatu- lator. Fortunately, we caught a glimpse of his dispatch in question before inserting it in the Star, and took due care to expose his mis- representation of Mr. P.’s political position. The following extract frem the New York Tribune shows that this effort to misrepresent to the country the fact that the Connecticut Democracy are true to their political princi- ples, was, in effect, just what we pronounced it to be on publishing it : The Democracy of Connecticut held a State Convention at New Haven yesterday, and nomi nated the following ticket ; for— Governor—James T Pratt, Hartford. Lieut. Governor—Jobn Cotton Smith, Sharon Secretary of State—F . Williams, r., Stonington. Treasurer—Dantel B. Warner, it Haddam Controller—Peleg C. Child, Woodstock. A series of half-and-half resolutions were re- ported, which did not suit the full-blooded sup- porters of the Administration. After a warm debate the Lecomptonites carried the day, the resolutions were recommitted, and after having been tortured into an approval of Mr. Buchanan's policy, were forced throuyb under the operation of the previous question. Election day will dis- close the existence of some “ fishy Democrats,” to use one of the organ’s elegant phrases, in Con- necticut, if we are not mistaken. The point of the result of the effort to seduce the Connecticut Democratic State Convention from their allegiance to Democratic principles, is involved in the “ fix” in which it leaves Mr. Douglas and his fellow absquatulators. The Democracy of but three Northern States have Spoken formally and officially upon the Le- compton Constitution question—that of New York in their recent town elections, and those of Pennsylvania and Connecticut in their sub- sequent State Conventions; each in so doin striking a stunning blow against the Position occupied by the sore-headed ones, in earnestly standing by the National Administration and the Democracy of Congress. We have a private letter from Kalamazo, Michigan, the residence of Senator Stuart, from an observing and reliable gentleman, assuring us that the mischief that gentleman managed to do at home before thé people could properly understand the subject, is already almost en- tirely undone. Thousands there, our corres- pondent writes, who were not long since against the admission of Kansas with the Lecompton Constitution, are now indignant against the manner in which they were deceived with ref- erence to the true merits of the question and the real points in issue, and are already among the most ardent friends of the measure. APPoINTwENTS.—The following appoint- ments have been made by the Secretary of the Interior, and confirmed by the Senate : Edward R.

[comuuntcatep A Banxrvet Law.—We see that flaally there has been a movement inaugurated in the United States Senate for a general bankrupt law; that ‘t is in the hands of the able Senator from Georgia, (Mr. Toombs ) All that we have yet been able to learn about it is, that it is intended to avoid, in this bill, all the fatal errors of the bill of isi, and to include banks and other corporations, to compel them to pay or fail. This isa highly de- sirable measure, and should it pass, as we think it will, will be a great benefit to both debtor and creditor inclosing up the results of the panic it will give thousands of good, active and bonest men achance to be useful, who are now loaded down with debts they can never 'y, and will have a strong tendency to prevent the recurrence of such panies in future. ‘The bills of all the States will be good only where they must pay or liquidate at once, and this will prevent danger- ous expansion or over-trading The princ ple was first suggested im the Presiden ’s jussage ; and now the first movement is from a Southern Senator. But we are satisfied that the North and West will give a hearty response to it. Some may object on the ground that loss is to result to creditors. That, however, is not the case. Cred itors never lose by a good bankrupt law. True, they find out what they have lost before the bank. Tuptey, and undoubtedly much sooner than they would under any other circumstances, and thu: save going so deep into a sinking ship. Tue Sax Francisco Grope.—Much cred't is due to this journal for the energy and ef- ficiency with which it has combatted for the cause of the Democracy apon the Lecompton Constitution question. It threw itself boldly into the breach when the disappointed office- X+eeckers in its region first essayed to use the issue #s a means of dividing the Democratic party organization, and by the holdness and vigor of its well-put arguments, it soon suc- ceeded in inducing the patriotically disposed to comprehend that to be unfaithful on the Le- compton Constitution question, was in effect to go over to the Republican party—the due com- prehension of which fact speedily made the anti-Lecompton Demooracy of California ‘‘small by degrees and beautifully less.” Tux Wearnen.—The following report of the weather for this morning is made from the Morse ~ Telegraph line to the Smithsonian Institution.

Tux Sux ate was not in session yesterday. Tux Hous was occupied in receiving reports of private bills after our report closed. Mr. Goode, by unanimous consent, introduced a bill granting additional powers to the Corpora- tion of Washington; referred to the District of Columbia Committee. The House then resolved itself into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. and took up the pes calender from the Court of Claims. A number of bills were considered and the re- port of the Court of Claims concurred in. After which the Committee rose and reported, and the House adjourned till Monday. o_o PERSONAL. --.. Commodore Reed, U. S.N, is at Wil- lards’. --.. Levi J. North, the celebrated equestrian, has been elected an Alderman at Chicayo, by the Democrats. -- Among the distinguished strangers now here, we perceive Wm. D_ Kennedy, Esq., “father of the council’? of Tammany Society, who bas apartments at Wiliards’. :-+ The Hon. Charles Mason, of Iowa, late Commissioner of Patents, is among the distin- guished strangers now in Washington. His numerous friends here will find him at the Wash- ington House. -.-. The Atlanta (Ga.) Examiner says, “Mr. Phil. Rice. the celebrated banjoist, died on the Floating Palace, on the Mississippi river, at Grand Lake, Ark., on the 4th of December. Mr. Rice was acknowledged by the best musicians of the age to be the most perfect performer on that instrument of the present day. It will be remembered that he gave instructions on the banjo to Thalberg, the celebrated pianist He is the author of ‘Phil Rice’s Instructons on the Banjo, with or without Music.’ Tur Presipent Sustainen—Tammany Hall Celebration of the Anniversary of his Inaugura- tion —The New York papers of yesterday morn- ing are filled with the proceedings of the great demonstration of the people of New York on the 4th instant, who assembled in obedience to a call of three thousand five hundred of the leading business men of that city, ‘to sustain President Buchanan” in his desire to settle the Kansas controversy by its immediate admission as a State. It was the second gathering of the De- mocracy of New York within a week, and is de- seribed as unparalleled in the enthusiasm and unanimity which characterized it. Tammany Hall was absolutely packed so that hundreds did not obtain conventent access. General John A Dix was unanimously chosen President, with a long array of Vice Presidents aud Secretaries, among whom we notice the names of many of the most prominent citizens of the commercial me- tropoiis. General Dix, on taking the chair, was greeted with three ch:ers. He addressed the multitude atcensiderable length, closing as follows : “TI believe the President, in all be has done, has acted with the most patriotic and disinter- ested m@tives. I have confidence in his wisdom as well as his integrity Iam sure your frith in im and his upright intentions 1s not inferior to myown. Let us then stand by him, aad let us be assured that in banishing from the halls of legislation a subject of sectional controversy, we shall contribute to unite the conservative influence of all sections of the confederacy upon the great public measures with which the prosperity of the country and Wranquility of the Union are so close- ly interwoven.”” Letters were received from Hon. Howell Cobb, Hon. Aaron V. Brown, Hon. Isaac Toucey, and Hon. Jacob Thompson, and from Hons. Reverdy Johnson, Jobn Slidell, A.G Brown, anda num- ber of other distinguished persons. The speakers were Hon. Robert M. McLane, of Baltimore, Hon. John Van Buren, and Hon. John Cochrane. ‘ The tone of the meeting,”’ says the Herald, ‘was such as to show that the Adminis- tration has the hearty and unflinching support of the Democracy of the metropolis.’’ The Times says: “ The mass meeting at Tammany Hall last eve- ning was all that the friends of the Administra- tion could desire as an anniversary celebration of the inauguration of James Buchanan, aud in de- monstration of the favor of his Kansas policy. Ex-Senator Joun A. Dix presided, and opened the meeting with a clear and eloquent exposition of bis reasons for sustaining the President. John Van Buren spoke some forty-five minutes, and was unusually sebatd even for him. Hon. R M. McLane, of Maryland, and Jobn Cochrane were the other orators, and both were well received ; though Mr. Cochrane, not commencing till past 10 o’clock, was heard at a great disadvantage. ‘The attendance during much of the evening was all that Tammany could accommodate, and of an unusually sober and solid sort.” Tar Sr Lovis Taacepy.—We find in the St. Louis papers the second and third days’ proceed- ings in the examination of Charles Sanders alias Taylor, charged with conspiracy, arson and mur- der in the Pacific Hotel case. ‘The testimony thus far elicited does not by any means warrant the very exciting statements published on the morn- ing after Taylor’s arrest. The large sum of mo- ney alleged to have been in the possession of the supposed murdered man, appears never to have existed. ‘Taylor did notarrive at the Townsley House after or during the alarm of fire, but an hour before. He did not go there without boots or shoes on, but had his boots on and was other. wise in full dress. No blood was discovered on the sheets in which he slept. Thus are some of the hideous features of this affair, as it first ap- peared, entirely obliterated. At the same time there is every reason to believe that there was foul play somewhere, but where, it is impossible at present to determine. Later From New Mexico—The Westport (Missouri) correspondent of the St. Luis Repub lican states that Mr. Kitchen, from New Mexico, brings intelligence of a desperate fight having occurred between the Pawnee and Arapahoe In- dians on the Pawnee Fork, in which ten of the former were killed und many wounded. Mr. Kitchen also reports being present at a meeting of a large number of Camanche and Klown Indians, who expressed the best feeling towards the whites, and stated that as far as they were eoncerned, the trains would not be molested. ‘The Indian tribes were all quiet in New Mexico. ee {> The act reorganizing the militia of the State of Virginia, says the Alexandria Gazette, is construed by bigh anthority, as Providing for the immediate vacation of the several offices in every volanteer regiment and company in the State, to which commissions are attached. Suomi eens ete SET An IncipENT oF THE ReLigiovs Revival — The New York Tribune says: The celebrated Orville Gardner, familiarly called -‘Awful Gardner,”’ prize-fiyhter and train- er of pugilists, has been recently brought under the influence of the general revival. He is now ata small town in the vicinity of New York. where his brother was ti A converted, at where he himself has been led to consider seri- ously the subject of religion. He attended an inquiry meeting held in the Methodiat Chaureb, aa tothe surprise and pleasure of the better class of his friends, requested the prayers of the congregation—a request which on three different occasions he repeated. Having some im; ant business to attend to in this city, a friend asked him if he would ‘4ump into the cars and go and attend to it?’ He replied ‘‘I have more mport- ani business to attend to first, and J shall not go to the city till it is done.” He has at present under his meet pond men for a prize fivht. On being asked ifhe would give them further lessons, he replied that he would go to them soon, but on a different errand from that of box- ing and training. and that he would try and per- suade taem to give up their fighting, to ™ thelr character, and to embrace religion.
